Odles Group
The Odles Group (Geislergruppe or Geislerspitzen in German) is a mountain range in the Dolomites that, together with the Puez Group, constitutes the majority of the territory of the Puez-Odles Nature Park, bordered by the Val Badia, Val Gardena, and Val di Funes, in South Tyrol.
Geography
The highest peaks in the chain are Sass Rigais and Furchetta, both at 3,025 meters.
At the base of the Funes Odles, one can follow the so-called "Odles Trail" (in German Adolf Munkel-Weg), which passes at the northern base of the Odles Group, where there is also a rock climbing gym.
Toponym
The name is attested in 1759 as Gaislerspitz and in 1770 as Geisler Spiz.[1] The term Odles translates from the Ladin language simply as "needles" referring to the pointed shape of many peaks in this group.
